Mustangs break, start string with win over Grant Union Prospectors
Photo by Joyce Hughes
The Heppner Mustangs broke
and started a string Friday night.
Sept. 4, as they struggled past the
Grant Union Prospectors, 3-0, in
the season opener for both teams
on the Mustangs home field.
The string they broke was a
series of losses to the sports teams
from John Day in football,
basketball and baseball dating
back to the Chuck Starr era in the
mid 1980's for their last win. (If
hat isn't right. I'm sure we’ll hear
about it.)
The string the Mustang grid-
ders started was a winning streak
for this talented and hard playing
group of young men.
The score indicated a fierce
defensive struggle but there was
plenty of offensive fireworks to
go around on this crisp autumn
night. The Mustangs were in
tercepted on their first series of
downs but held the Prospectors
and benefitted from a punt of -1
yards, setting the Mustangs up on
Grant Union’s 17-yard line.
Three plays lost four yards and
with 6:09 remaining in the first
quarter, junior Len Brittner. out
of the hold of Kevin Payne, split
the uprights with a 38-yard field
goal for the only score of the
game.
Both Heppner and Grant Union

possessions each and both came
up empty against the defense. The
Mustangs had great field position
on two of those possessions.
Sophomore Chris Dickenson
stopped the only real threat from
the Prospectors in the second
quarter.
After a 15-yard pass comple
tion from Sam Cronin to Jack
Holpuch and a 20-yard run by
senior running back Brian Zinn
got Grant Union in gear, Dicken
son stepped in front of a pass and
returned the interception 28
yards.
The Mustangs opened the se
cond half with a nice drive. From
their own 40-yard line, quarter
back Rick Koffler ran the option
for a 13-yard gain. He had eight
carries for43 yards on the night.
Dickenson gained nine yards on
two carries. Koffler bootlegged
for nine yards and junior Kevin
Payne had a nice gain wiped out
by a clipping penalty and the
drive ended with a fumble on a
reverse.
Grant Union mounted their on
ly serious drive of the night on its
next possession. The Prospectors
ran off over eight minutes of the
clock on a 16-play drive, all on
the ground. Zinn, a 5’ 10” 198 lb
HB, ran the ball 12 times on the
drive. He was the leading ground
gainer on the night with 97 yards
on 21 carries.
The drive stalled on the five-
yard line with defensive end

Heppner only had to stop the Pro

well for the Mustangs. Payne
